We stopped here to add the Museum as a waymark, but I took way too many car pictures to leave it at that. It gets its own post. Admission is $12.00. The Museum is open Monday through Friday: 9am to 4pm and Saturday: 9am to 5pm.

The building appears to have been an old dealership.

Old gas pumps near entrance.

Now I’m not much of a corvette fan, but the whole showroom floor was covered in them.

All of the cars have been restored to original condition. The engines are showroom clean, batteries are kept on chargers, and the entire rolling stock is cranked up at least twice a week.

No food is actually served here.

Restroom Area.

Corvette Station Wagon – Only one made.

This is just a small sampling of the wonderfully restored cars housed at this museum. It is well worth a visit.

Since my post about Cameron and Rockport, I had a set back with another hospital stay. I’m once again recovered enough to hit the open road and visit some interesting places. On our way to do the walk in Wichita Falls we did some waymarking.

Decatur was our first city to visit. It was 46 degrees and raining. So the pictures have dots!

Pink Granite 108-year-old Wise County Courthouse.

Atop the courthouse tower are four clocks.

This mural reflects not only Decatur, but also the State of Texas, with a depiction of the Scale of Justice and a sword held by Lady Justice, a scroll over the shadow of the capitol building in Austin, a longhorn cow, a gavel, a bell, a flag of Texas, and a courts building.

This New Deal post office was constructed in 1937 with Treasury Department funds. It presently houses the Decatur Visitors Center.

Oak Lawn Cemetery was officially established in 1878 when William T. Perry deeded property to Decatur.

Vintage gas station. I thought it would be waymarked, but it isn’t.

1st United Methodist Church. Constructed under the leadership of the Reverend A. R. Nash, it was dedicated at Easter services in 1914.

We continued on to Bowie and it’s still raining.

Unveiled on April 7, 2016, a long-awaited Bowie knife greets travelers along US 81. Pending approval from the Guinness Book of World Records, this will be the largest Bowie knife in the world.

Montague was our next stop.

Three story massive red brick Montague County Courthouse with columns built in 1912. It was renovated in 1939 and its dome was removed.

On the northeast corner of the courthouse square in Montague stands an old jail building, unused since 1980, yet standing as a symbol of much of Montague County law enforcement history.

War Memorial to all wars sits on another corner of the courthouse lawn. It is not yet a waymark.

Back side of the war memorial has lovely engraving.

Nacona was our last destination. I added the Horton Car Museum and a Coca-Cola item to the Waymarking Database. There are so many Museum pictures that there will be a separate post for it.

The building appears to have been an old dealership.

1955 Corvette Station Wagon – Only one made. It was a “Concept Car” at the New York Car Show. It was the basis for the later Nomad.

1934 Packard Club Sedan

1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk

Coca-Cola Peddle Car with white walls.

I thought this was an old gas station and I took pictures to waymark it. Turns out it is a new building just decorated to look old.

The Texas Visitor Center at Langtry is open 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. CT seven days a week. You have to go through it to get to the Jersey Lily Saloon, and Judge Roy Beans home. In addition to those attractions there is a nature trail through a cactus garden, and the visitor’s center has Video Theatre and Interpretive Displays. It is free to visit the Jersey Lily and the rest of the displays.

This is the actual building in its original location where Judge Roy Bean dispensed his justice.

Below is the “Opera House” which is where Judge Bean lived.

We did the nature walk and enjoyed the plants on display.

Leaving the visitor’s center we spotted this huge cactus.

Small store where you can buy drinks and snacks is also the US Post Office.

Rocksprings is the county seat of Edwards County, TX. It is located on the Edwards Plateau in the Texas Hill Country. Because of the springs the area was a campsite for sheep/cattle ranchers as early as 1882. When the Edwards County courthouse at Leakey burned in 1888, a new, more centrally located site was selected for the county seat. This campsite was selected and a town was platted . A post office opened in 1891. It was originally called Rock Springs.

First we went looking for two letterboxes in the Rocksprings Cemetery. “Edwards Plateau” and “Mohair Sam”.

In town we went to the courthouse square were we found the old Edwards County jail. This limestone jail, built in 1891, no longer houses inmates it is vacant.

The Edwards County Courthouse was built in 1891 out of limestone in the Romanesque Revival Style.

There was a really neat statue on the corner of the courthouse square of an Angora Goat. These goats originally came from Turkey. Their wool is now a major income source to this county.

The bank across from the courthouse also salutes the Angora trade with mosaic portraits on their wall.

We were in Salado to do the Volksmarching event, so I took this opportunity to stop by the Sculpture Garden. The sculptures are not permanent. So there is always something new to be seen. These are some of the new ones.
